Junior Magazine Fashion Awards 2025 Best Children’s Knitwear Collection | Junior Design Awards 2025

Winner:JOINT GOLD - Best Children’s Knitwear Collection

Who:Rosie Sugden Scottish Cashmere

What:Baby & Children's knitwear

Why:

Gorgeous colourways, sumptuously soft and ultra cosy, this collection ticked all the boxes for our judges who felt the designs were warm and playful, just as children’s knitwear should be! The panel agreed that the bonnets and cardigans were timeless pieces, and would make dream additions to any little wardrobe, and they would trust their kids would be as snug as a bug on every adventure while wearing them.

 

I'm a huge fan of Rosie Sugden's cashmere bonnets and cardigans. Beautifully soft and the most tasteful, charming colourways.

Charlotte Kewley, Stylist & founder of @thelittlestylist

I adore everything about Rosie Sugden knitwear. Their cardigans are so hard wearing and comfortable, made with the most beautiful coloured wools & cashmeres. Their bonnet style baby hats are incredibly warm and playful despite their simple design, and the longer ears with tie straps make them perfect for babies in the chilly months.

A dream brand.

Winner:JOINT GOLD - Best Children’s Knitwear Collection

Who:Mika & Milo

What:GOTS organic cotton/cashmere collection

Why:

Our judges agreed that this year’s offering from Mika & Milo was as luxurious and dreamy as ever. The panel especially admired the matching jumpers and skirts – what’s not to love about head-to-toe comfort that just happens to look adorable? As always, the brand’s commitment to sustainability and slow fashion was evident. Judges were also impressed by the 50+ wash guarantee: hypoallergenic fibers that soften over time with no pilling – brilliant!

 

The quality is amazing, I love every detail of the design too.
Also the soft feel of the fabric!

I love the new collection with the matching sweaters and skirts. Such cute looks and the softest cashmere knits. Amazing that they're machine washable too.

Charlotte Kewley, Stylist & founder of @thelittlestylist

Fun, comfy & easy to wash?! It doesn't get better. Lady Di may have done sheep jumpers first, but Mika & Milo made it accessible. So fun and 90's in the best way.

Mika & Milo never fail to brighten up my day! Love the brilliant classics they stick with, and the new designs added every season.

Winner:JOINT SILVER - Best Children’s Knitwear Collection

Who:The Faraway Gang

What:Luxury Unisex Knitwear

Why:

This brand was a hit with our judges for so many reasons. The panel loved the versatility of the pieces which are made to be durable enough for any adventure and cosy enough for the every day, and the nostalgic patterns and colours went down a treat. The brand’s slow fashion ethos stood out to our judges, who felt the ‘second hand doesn’t mean second best’ preloved initiative was absolutely brilliant, they loved that garments are passed on to the next family to keep telling stories and creating memories.

A fab brand! I love how The Faraway Gang resell past preloved jumpers, checked over by them, as well as knitting patterns!

Charlotte Kewley, Stylist & founder of @thelittlestylist

Jumpers designed for Famous Five inspired trips, bear hunts & all the magic of childhood. Utterly perfect in their nostalgia.

Saff Michaelis, Lifestyle Content Creator @saff_michaelis

Love the photoshoot presentation capturing details so well!

Aly Barzu, Content Creator & founder of @allmumstalk

I am in love with this brand that offers classic jumpers with a colourful twist. Perfect for chilly days and evenings when they need to feel cosy and warm.

Winner:JOINT SILVER - Best Children’s Knitwear Collection

Who:Pickle

What:Pickle Luxe organic baby romper collection

Why:

What busy mum hasn’t wished they had more easy-on, adorable outfits to hand? Enter, Pickle’s new luxurious range of organic cotton rompers. Our judges loved that these pieces were the perfect combination of neutral style, sweet details and approachable pricing, ideal for making everyday moments feel extra special. The panel thought the materials were supremely snugglable too!

I LOVE a one and done outfit, especially for newborns and smaller babies. Even more so when it doesn't compromise on style. The scallop piping on the pink edged onesie is the perfect amount of detail for a mum who errs towards neutral but still likes a little bit of visual interest on their childrenswear.

Saff Michaelis, Lifestyle Content Creator @saff_michaelis

Gorgeous!

Laura Coleman, Model & Content Creator @misslauracoleman

Oh the cream knitted romper with pink scallop detail is just beautiful. Amazing value too.

Charlotte Kewley, Stylist & founder of @thelittlestylist

Another string to this brilliant independent brand’s bow. It has been amazing to see Pickle grow and develop over the years and this collection showcases their ingenuity and insight into parent’s needs.

Winner:BRONZE- Best Children’s Knitwear Collection

Who:Amelou Kids

What:The Heirloom Edit

Why:

Every wardrobe, big or small, needs that one special piece of knitwear you turn to again and again, and Amelou Kids’ Heirloom Edit has plenty to choose from. Crafted from British-spun lambswool, these pieces are unbelievably soft. Our judges loved the timeless designs and quality of the jumpers, and how versatile the pieces are. The brand’s belief that children’s clothing can be beautiful and practical, luxurious and playful all at the same time absolutely shines through in this collection. Did we mention they’re machine washable?!

Some adorable sky blue heritage and striped styles. The pramsuit is just beautiful.

Charlotte Kewley, Stylist & founder of @thelittlestylist

Beautifully soft jumpers in lovely timeless designs which can be dressed up or down. Pair with wellies and a smile for the best day out!

Saff Michaelis, Lifestyle Content Creator @saff_michaelis

Absolutely love this collection of super soft adorable knitwear. Classic designs that will be passed down time and time again.
